However, exploiting a [[Midnight Vacation|glitch]] allows the player to examine these vessels up close, along with a number of {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}}s and {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s. Because these ships are intended to appear only as scenery, they are rendered as brushes rather than level geometry; as such, the player can fly the Broadsword through them without harm. By the same merit the ships' in-game models are not to scale with their canonical incarnations.{{Ref/Reuse|Bulletin}} | ||
